I would be happy to give this a go, and who knows, getting to play with Kasper could be a draw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list shared on here I think includes Fofana within the 25 man squad, but surely he doesn't need to be registered because of his age? If not, that leaves us one spare slot, and potentially another if Gray were to move on. I believe that is the case regarding Fofana, but I think it also depends on what we do with Dewsbury-Hall as he is too old to be classed as u21 so he either needs to be registered in the squad or loaned out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 The opportunity to get someone like Eriksen would be incredible, even if it stretched us financially in the short term. It would give us a huge injection of end product but with everyone fit it's likely Maddison AND Praet would be on the bench, unheard of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fofana needs to be registered as a senior for the EL because he's not an academy player, so we're at our limit (23 players or 24 with KDH) in the EL. We'll have to leave 2 out (likely Ndidi and Jakupovic), but both can be in the PL squad, as can KDH given Fofana is U21 for PL. Essentially, we're definitely at our limit without an obvious departure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to bring 2-3 more in, we'd also need to lose 2-3 more such as Gray, Choudhury, Albrighton?

I think it's clear from yesterday that it is so important for Castagne and Praet to be working together. I love the thought of Erikson, but it might be a case of our eyes being bigger than our bellies! It was very unfortunate having both him and Madders injured at once, but most of the time we should have at least one available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 (edited) I think this is why we won’t see anything from us today in terms of incomings, today will just be sales and loans out, then if we do go for someone we will target a Championship player Edited 5 October 2020 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovindil Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 People getting rowdy over Eriksen? Don't get it. He's looked doggo coming off inter's bench, which should come as no surprise considering how he downed tools and all but gave up at spurs. Surely we've got enough decent play makers now when madders is back without spunking a couple hundred grand a week on this quitter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those outside the top 7 will be in a much better position to go after those top Championship players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accepting that, I am actually relatively calm, expecting nothing much but hoping for an exciting random development to keep me up too long this evening watching sky sports news on loop. ➿😱😂😎🤪 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 I actually think Errikson would be a good idea however unlikely it is. Praet is the only box to box midfielder we have. Let's say Mendy gets injured right now and you have Choudhury left. Choudhury can't play every 4 days in that intense role particularly tracking back whilst creating play going forward. (Choudhury is no good going forward) Investing in that role (Cantwell being an option) would be something I'd advocate in terms of flair going forward and tracking back.

Not that I rely on Rob Dorsett, but have sky heard anything about potential movement? Or have they just stuck him there so he's getting paid for doing something today rather than sat his pants all day at home tweeting everything he reads on here?? Hope he’s got network bars on his phone so he check FoxesTalk for his information on what’s happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnlaugson's Rizlas Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 Feel like Brendan needs to force the issue here if we are going to get any transfer traction today. Instead of analysing something boring, or whenever he does, he should leave his office, get in his SUV and conspicuously drive past Rob Dorset and give a rogue, window down interview saying he needs ‘2 or 3 more players’. It’s an old gambit, but whatever they are doing now isn’t working, and that would provide sky with the 30 seconds of footage they need to fill the next half hour of coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
